why does it hurt to be free?
the sun shines, the moon smiles,
but my heart cries, it bleeds.

why does it hurt to love?
your kiss just can't compare
to the pain that still constricts.

why can't i be happy now?
his eyes still haunt my dreams.
i'm afraid, but i shouldn't be.

why can't i let him fade away?
i can't help but remember everything
and how perfectly he fit with me.

why is the sky still so grey?
though your touch calms my rage,
memories won't bleed from my veins.

why is he still here with me?
a ghost stalks my beating heart.
when i'm alone, it all floods back.

why won't Time let me heal?
this has gone on long enough,
but you don't feel like he did.

why won't this hesitation rest?
i want to be happy, but i guess
that it's simply too much to ask.

why does it hurt to breathe?
my lungs struggle, my chest heaves.
something tells me it's not right.

why does it hurt to be free?
i long to be in his arms again,
but i guess all i have is you.
yeah... okay so this one may need a bit of an explanation.

so i'm kind of... with someone else now. and im having trouble transitioning things between zach and this new person.

it hurts to be free, because part of me still wants to be with zach, and wants nothing to do with anyone else.

there is a part of me, though, that wants me to just go for it, and leave the past in the past. hopefully this part overtakes the other. otherwise, it's just going to be a long road of pain and anguish until something i truly believe is better comes along. for some reason, this doesn't feel like it. :\ sad, i know, because it should feel better. it feels worse, in some ways. i don't like this.
